Kasey Chambers - Nullarbor Song
From "Barricades & Brickwalls" (2002)
(Kasey Chambers)
Capo: 2nd Fret
INTRO: [G] [D] [Em] [C]
When the [G]fire burns out here
It’s [D]brighter than the city lights
[Em] Warmer than a heart of [C]gold
And [G]dingos howl just to break the si[D]lence
The [Em]sun comes up just to break the cold [C]
[G] Last night I woke with the [D]stars looking back at me
[Em] Swallowing the sky [C]
[G] I felt no anger, [D]I felt no shame
[Em] I felt no reason to cry [C]
CHORUS:
[D] If I'm not here in the [G]morning
[D] I'll cry a river of [G]tears
I'll learn to live in a [D]new town
[C] But my heart is staying here [G]
INTRO (x2)
When it's [G]quiet out here [D] a hundred miles away
[Em]You can hear the train on the line [C]
The [G]whistle blows just to break the si[D]lence
[Em] I wave just to break the time [C]
[G] I close my eyes, [D] I think of runnin' water
[Em] I think of runnin' away [C]
But the [G]fires burnt to ashes and it's [D]darker than before
But [Em]I can see as clear as day [C]
CHORUS
I'll learn to live in a [D]new town
[C] But my heart is staying here [G]
